Grungy, shabby clusters

This is another fabulous design from Crafty by Toni that I instantly fell in love with and had to get down to biz making some. Toni started with corrugated cardboard, of which I had none, so I improvised. (See last photo.)  Thanks for looking. 


A piece of muslin I stained with alcohol ink.
Dyed cheesecloth

A piece of lace ribbon from Dollar Tree. 

Seriously. A piece of kraft cardstock and the paper crimper and I'm good to go. I will never get rid of this ancient paper crimping tool from Fiskars. Anybody else still have, or even remember, the crimper tool from Fiskars? One of the things I will never, ever purge. As seldom as I use it, I love having it whenever I do.

6x3 inch accordion folio in Pink

This adorable mini was inspired by Julie at Camelia Crafts from a project she did a couple of years ago. I love watching her videos, they're easy to follow and her projects are great. Super simple design using 6x6 papers; folio measures 6x3 inches.


full page pocket tags, front and back

Pocket folio in teal

This one started out to be a project for a teal color challenge. I soon found out I have very little in my stash in the way of teal! These old papers by BoBunny are as close as I could come, so I hope you can see enough of the teal to make it worthy of the challenge. I do like how it turned out in the end, regardless of color. This project inspired by idaizee. I just love her work!! 




This one is a coin envelope tucked into the pocket. 


The tag in the large pocket and the smaller tag in the back pocket. Plenty of room for journaling or photos.

Embellishment clusters

Cute little guys to tuck into pockets or hang on a journal page, inspired by Anna's Arts and Crafts youtube channel. Mine measure not quite 2.5 x 1.75 inches. Quick and fun way to use up scrap pieces. 

I've used washi tape, boo boo tape, old dictionary pages, stamps, die cuts, and some digital files. I love them!

Vibe of Vintage postal digitals

These delicious postal themed digital pieces are from Vibe of Vintage Printables on Etsy. They are some of my most favorite and I loved working with them on this project this week. The designs are all by Saje and I just loved them so much I had to recreate them. You can watch her create them on her YouTube channel here. In addition to the postal digital kit from VofV, I also used various stamp sets, mostly from Crafty by Toni, and some from Heidi Swapp.

New Digital Butterflies from SevenPlaza

Technically, I guess these are moths, but they sure are pretty. This new kit , Antique Entomology, comes from Margareth of SevenPlaza. You can find her lovely work on Ko-Fi. My tags were inspired by Crafty by Toni. You can also find both of these talented ladies on YouTube.

Grungy library pockets

You may remember Mass Make March when we made lots and lots of projects in multiples. These library pockets made from file folders were one of those makes, and today I'm sharing how I have embellished some of them using one of the newest stamp set releases from Crafty by Toni. This stamp set has risen to my list of all time faves. You can find it in Toni's Etsy shop.
